i have listened to that ikons and agree it sounds good on first listen however over repeated listens it gets samey. certain tracks really start off strong and then you are left with a "this song needs another change to really be great feeling. i can see certain djs using parts of the songs, cutting them up and seguewaying them into something awesome tho ala optimo.

are there only two lissvik remixes?

I only have two. The Fever Ray and This Is Head. Both are great.

yeah those are the two i have, i was kinda hoping there were more

y'know Taken by Trees is touring with El Perro Del Mar. One album produced by Rasmus, the other by Lissvik. If only those guys would be on tour with them. I'm going to see the show but I'm not expecting it to come close to the beauty that is captured on the studio versions.

Bought this on a whim last night, and while I was initially upset at myself for my disgusting lack of restraint in spending money on music, I knew it would all be well after I listened to it, and (halfway through the last track) I can say all is better than well.
This is a damn near perfect album, if not a bona-fide perfect album.

I saw the El Perro Del Mar / Taken By Trees show last week and it was incredible. They shared a band who basically sounded like a looser, country-fied Studio. The band was fantastic and created the same spaced out groove Lissvik and Rasmus put on their latest albums.

sorry can't be bothered to read the thread - have these guys split up or something? How come no follow-up to 'West Coast'?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 4 March 2010 09:45 (3 years ago) Permalink
Busy in 2009: Lissvik in the Crêpes, also producing other artists (Lissvik did Taken by Trees, Hägg did Fontän and El Perro del Mar). But I totally agree that it's time for new Studio material!
― willem, Thursday, 4 March 2010 10:24 (3 years ago) Permalink
also Yearbook 2 was a followup to West Coast
― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:10 (3 years ago) Permalink
Not really, it was a compilation of remixes.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:21 (3 years ago) Permalink
right. and if anything "yearbook 2" was a follow up to "yearbook 1"
― shite new answers (cutty), Thursday, 4 March 2010 21:56 (3 years ago) Permalink
yeah but it's still stuff they did after West Coast instead of splitting up
― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Thursday, 4 March 2010 23:09 (3 years ago) Permalink
i'm starting to think there may be no more original material from these guys. which i GUESS i can deal with if they keep evolving as amazing producers/remixers, but it's still kind of a bummer. did they ever tour the us?

they don't have any definite album release plans, although they have three albums worth of material 'in the can.' ― poortheatre, Monday, July 7, 2008 7:22 PM (1 year ago)

i still think 'Indo' is their best track, and i don't like their remixes.

i'm bit sure if i like it better, but i listen to yearbook 2 more than yearbook 1.

anyone know what these guys are up to lately?

I hear they're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing their computer out the window because they want to make something real.

idk kinda looks like a graphic design project to me

yeah, it does
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:41 (2 years ago) Permalink
yeah i guess, probably a bit weak compared w/ their previous design too
― plax (ico), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:43 (2 years ago) Permalink
the guys in studio would know better than to use that font for the tracklisting imo

listened to the Kylie remix again today, the first guitar chops in that might be my favourite gtr in all of Studio

is this the ''parlour'' band you're talking about? they sound less balearic and more post-rock-y.

googler is a really stupid album title, btw, even if it is named after the googly eyes on the cover and not the search engine

So does anyone have any concrete information about Yearbook 3?
Or are people here thinking that jpg is some sort of hoax?

Why on earth would anyone* go to the trouble of putting together a fake Studio album and poster?

haha yeah liking this bizarro ilx world where people would bother putting together fakes with actual promo pix for stadium balearo-rockers the Studio.
